Virginia Conference M. E. Church South
and the theatres.

At the recent session of the Virginia Con-
ference of the NJ. E. Church South at Dam
ville--the 105th Annual Conference of that
body-the following preamble and resolu-
tions were offered by Revs. P. A. Peterson,
A. G. Brown, Paul Whitehead and John E.
Edwards, and unanimously adopted by
rising vote amid hearty and loud amens:-
"Whereas the Methodist Episcopal
Church South has always borne strong testi-
mony against the theatre: and whereas the
patronizing of theatrical exhibitions by pro-
Tossing Christians has, by recent occurrence,
been given unusual prominence; and where
as the situation seems to justify an express
sion of opinion on this subject by the Con-
ference: therefore
"ResolUed, That we are profoundly con-
vinced of the evil character and influence of
the theatre and of its power as a promoter
Of irreligion, immortality and vice.
"Resolred, That we most affectionately
and earnestly exhort our people to set their
faces against this thing as diversion which
cannot be used in the name of the Lord
Jesus
The ''recent occurrences" referred to are
of course understood to mean the Emma
Abbott Gambler episode in Nashville, and
the preamble and resolutions form a centre
shot at the Rev. DR.. Kelly, who wrote the
famous letter published in Nashville pa
per condemning Gambler and partially in
dorsing Abbott.

THE INDIAN SUMMER.
BY WADE wHIPPLE.

Like subtle fancies of a dream
That after consciousness recalls
And fashions into shapes that gleam
With living fire, the sunlight falls
Ger distant hills,
And with resemblance of June
Its golden charm, its hush of noon
The landscape fills.
The winds, like birds that float along
The ether seas on waveless wings,
Sail fairly the brakes among,
And as a tender mother sings
Her babe to sleep.
They breathe a soothing lullaby,
Above the stricken flowers that lie
In slumber deep.
The shadows drift from slope to slope
With courtier sunbeams on their trail
And where the russell woodlands ope'
Their barren deeps and opal veil
In beauty rests,
Then spreads its folds athwart the downs
Until with halo rich it crowns
The mountain crests.
A holy calm is in the air
'Tis Natures spell of reverie-
The velvet -sandard hours do bear
The garpered fruits of memory.
And one by one
They pour their wine in spark ling jets
Until the cup of sweet regrrts
Is overrun.
And SO, lifes autumn ins'ring late
With toke ems of the haley on days.
We manga at Wiuter,s omen gate
And. as each sunny mem'ry plays
Across our mood,
We drink the vintage of the years
That seasoned with youths smiles and
The past has brewed. [tears

The SPARROW NUTsANCE.-The English
Sparrow is an enemy of our native song
sters and drives them away; he is the foo
of the gardener and fruit-grower, because
he expels the insectivorous birds, and then
solaces himself with the young plants, the
buds and the fruit; he is destructive to the
grape crop, and rapacious feeder there
upon. In ten days, Sparrows in Australia
robbed a single vineyard of three thousand
pounds of grapes. This bird is an enemy
to the grain growth, and destroys the grain
in the milk, as we'll as eats and wastes it in
the ripened head. He defiles buildings and
destroys the vines that cling to them. He
is not a destroyer of insects. These boldly
festoon the haunts of the Sparrow with
webs, and fasten their cocoons to them.-
At first he had the reputation of destroying
caterpillars, and the measuring worm. But
now our Caesar feeds on more toothsome
meat. The State Entomologist of New
York has proven by observation, that the
caterpillar thrives where the Sparrow most
abounds, and the same conclusion is reach
ed by more than one English eDtomologist
The loss from Sparrows in England is put
at four million dollars year. In Australia
the loss is greater, and in the United States
| it passes omputation.-Americaa AQricul-

Frederick T. Frelinghuysen, the pride OF
New Jersey-aye of the nation-and one OF
the pillars of the Christian Church, and for
nearly four years practically President OF
the United States, although in the Office of
Secretary of State, in his determination to
make peace with all the governments on
this American continent, wore himself out,
and while his brain was as keen as it ever
was, and his heart beat as regularly as it
ever did, he was, according to the bulletins
of his physicians at Washington and New
ark, dying of hardening of the liver. Satan,
who does not like good men, sent a dart
through his liver. The last my dear friend
for he was my friend and my father 3
friend before me-the last he was seen in
Washington was in the Presidents carriage
leaning his head against the shoulder of
the President on his way to the depot to
take the train to 60 home to die. Martyr
of the public service, he died for his coun-
try, though he died in time of peace. In
his earlier life be was called the nephew of
his uncle, Theodore Frelinghuysen, but he
lived to render for God and his country a
service that will make others proud to be
his nephew, and which will keep his name
on the scroll of history as the highest style
of Christian statesman that this century or
any other century has produced. My Lord
and my God, if we must get sick and worn
out let it be in thy service, and in the effort
to make the world good and happy. Not
in the service of sin. No! No! One of the
most pathetic scenes that l ever witnessed
and often see it, is that of men or women
converted in the fifties or sixties or seven
ties wanting to be useful, but they 80
served the world and satan in tha earlier
part of their life that they have no physical
energy left for the service of God. They
sacrificed nerves, muscles, lungs, heart and
liver on the wrong altar. They fought on
the wrong side, and now, when their sword
is all hacked up and their ammunition all
gone, they enlist for Emmanuel. When
the high-melted cavalry horse which that
man spurred into many a cavalry charge
with champing bit and flaming eye and
spawned and ring boned and spring-halt,
he rides up to the great Captain of our
Salvation on the white horse and offers his
services. When such persons might have
been throughsthe good habits of lifetime
crashing the battle-axe through helmeted
iniquities, they are spending their days and
nights in discussing the best way of break
ing up their indigestion and quieting their
jangling nerves, and rousing their laggard
appetite, and trying to extract the dart
from their outraged liver. Better converted
late than neverl Oh, yes; for they will get
to heaven. But they will go afoOt when
they might have wheeled up the steep hills
of the sky in ElUah's chariot. There is an
old hymn that we used to sing in the coun-
try Westinghouse when I was boy, and I
remember how the old folks voices
trembled with emotion while they sang it.
I have forgotten all but two lines, but
those lines are the peroration Of my SER
mon:
"'Twill save US from q thousand snares
To mind religion young"

THE PRESS AND ITS BURDEN.-The press
endures the affliction of dead -headism from
the pulpit, the bar and the stage; from cor
porations, societies and individuals. 1t is
expected to yield its interests-it is request
ed to give strength to the weak, eyes to the
blind, clothes to the naked and bread to the
hungry. 1t is asked to cover up infrmi-
ties, hide weaknesses, wink at quacks,
bolster up all dull, sap.headed politicians,
and fiatter the vain. 1t is, in short, to be
all things to all men; and if itlooks for any
reward, it is denounced as mean and sor.
did. There is no interest under the whole
heavens that is expected to give SO much
to society without pay or thanks as the
press.-Bwlingto Ha,ckeye.

SOME STRANGE CONFESSIONS.
Several Good Stories Which Convey Very
Needfal Morals.

The Rochester, On. " Union reports
having having this dialogue with an emi-
nent physician
"Can you cure cold for me e''
IT dare say where Is it ?"
"Do you treat yourself for cold e''
"That depends on how bad they are.
had one last week and fixed myself I'D a
dose, but didn't dare take it. kept it
over night and gave it to 'deadhead' pa
tient the next day."
'sI'hen you don't dare take your own
medicine ?'
A gentleman short time ago consulted
his physician about a severe rheumatic at
tack. As he was leaving, the doctor said
''Should my prescription afford any relief
let me know it, as am suffering from an
affection similar to yours, and for the last
twenty years have tried in vain to cure it."
The best of physicians now have the
frankness to admit that the schools have
not yet mastered all there is to know about
the causes of disease, and the best methods
of cure. There has been great advance,
no doubt, in medical science in the last fif-
ty years. Doctors themselves do not take
their own physic, even though they may
saturate the systems of their patients with
poisonous drugs, nor do they bleed, blister
and torture, as formerly.
Byron died, it is claimed, because of
overlooking by his physicians. Washing
ton met the same fate.
Scientific investigation shows that most
ailments proceed from arrangement of pri-
mary organs, of which the kidneys are the
most important. Every drop of blood cours-
ing through the system passes through these
organs, and if they are deranged, the blood
speedily becomes impure, and carries the
seeds of disease to every part of the body.
If we keep these organs regulated by the
use OF simple vegetable compound like
Warmers safe cure, which Prof. baltimore,
New York State board of health analy of
the Rochester University, says: i find entire
deleterious substances"-there is little dam
ger of bright's disease, apcplexy, rheuma-
tism, or any of the common ailments, nearly
all of which originate in or are made fatal
by diseased (though unexpectedly kidneys.
This great remedy has the reputation, which
seems well founded of curing more diseases
than any one other remedy ever known. Tt
restored the son of the Danish vice. Consul
Schmidt, ofs69 Wall ST., New York, from
Bright's disease, and General Christensen,
of Drexel, Morgan & Co., Bankers, of New
York, who knew Of the case, pronounced it
q wonderful remedy.
As appropriate to the doctors who give
to their patients what they will not take
themselves, we quote this story,
''Oh, Mr.. Smith, help me OUT" exclaim-
ed young lady at church fair. GIVE
sold tidy for SIS that only cost 15 cents.
What percentage is the profit? %
Percentage, madam ?'' exclaimed the
lawyer with merriment. "That transac-
tion is beyond percentage-it is simple lar
cenyq"
The professional man who takes ones
money when he can do one no equivalent
service will understand the moral.

On the Paris Bourse.

PARIS, February 3.-The Bourse
opened depressed. Besides political
rumors and a general financial mis-
trust, suspensions of all credit made the
transactions of business almost an i'm
possibility. The members of the
"Couless" practically refused credit.
The dealings and last prices,
therefore in many instances, we're NOM
inal. Alien rentes we're largely offered
but found few buyers. After official
hours they were nominally quoted at
80 10 against 90, 40 yesterday. Three
per cent. rentes for money fell 2 francs
80 confines, and for account 2 francs so
confines. Credit fancier is down 70
francs; Suez canal shares, 81 francs !;
Ottoman Bank, II francs; Panama
Canal, francs so confines. The opinion
prevails that unless the banks and great
capitalists come to the relief of the
market, disastrous failures are in
evitable.

TIE Prosecuted OYSTER MAN
The Terrible BOycotting that Coffee
John Sustained.

The Coffee John failure was one of
the topics of the town yesterday, and
there would have been some sympathy
for the well-known oyster man but for
his attempt at showing in the Tribune
that his assignment was due to the
prosecutions of his Mormon creditors,
and the boycotting be had sustained at
Mormon hands. P. W Madsen, the
furniture man, A. E. Hyde, the butter
and eggs dealer, and H. L. Griffin, of
Ogden, he names as his main persecut-
ors, but the give away" occurs
when it is known that Griffin is
an out and out Gentle; those who
know Mr.. Madsen will smile.at the as
sertion that be would "persecute' any
one out of business, aud especially
when that anyone owed him several
hundred dollars. Neither is it likely
tina, Mr.. Hyde would have used any OF
the melhous to collect his bills except
those common 10 all business men.
The p!a,uCiyeness of the complaint re-
gardlng Madsen, OF whom Coffee John
admits having bought a heavy lot of
turnltur", and having given first
mortgage on that furniture TO Mr..
Hickey, saving the second for Madsen
himself, Is something almost humorous.
The bOycOttIng dodge will excite but
one comment-"rats." 1t is so notorious
fact that many Mormons were among
the best customers of the house up 10
the day it fzzled out-that the fact
hardly needs pointing out. Add to this
that Mr.. Coffee John himself has mum
berlesS times proclaimed the MormOns
as among his best customers, that emily
a few weeks ago he loudly announced
to various people that the Loyal League
had boycotted him because he re-
fused TO give them a check for $50,
and IL becomes rather evident that the
love of the sound of his voice has been
Mr.. Coffee Johns main incentive to
talking. The Tribune ass, however.
showed the gauZiness of the whole thing
in his concluding paragraph, when he
gravely says after attributing the whole
misfortune TO the Mormons, 'if he had
waited year longer before building his
new house, he could easily have pulled
through" Herein lies the whole secret.
Coffee John, though perhaps unexceled
as an oyster caterer, is no manager.
He built a 50 900 house when he could
not spare the money out of his bust
ness. This sort of thing has been tried
before, but never, as far as we have
been able TO observe, with any different
result to that which has oyertaken the
house of Ftchette.
Coffee John says his preferre Gs3redit-
are Auerbach Bros, 500; CuImer Bros,
$500 and, Sells, Burton Il Co., 1925. To
Hickey, of Ogden, he owes 500, secured
by first mortgage on Madsen's furni-
ture. He claims that he sold out to
BIZ acher for 81, 900, and that his Ogden
property is assigned to Geo. Rhodes, of
Auer bach Bros, for the benefit of his
creditors. He gave a trust deed for
So, 900 on his SO 900 house to secure his
oVerdraft at Wells, Fargo & Co.'s.
